Texans' Injury Concerns
The Houston Texans may be shorthanded at wide receiver this week due to injuries to Nico Collins and Christian Kirk.
Neither Collins nor Kirk practiced on Wednesday or Thursday, and according to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime,
the Texans rarely play guys who don't practice both days.
- Nico Collins is dealing with a concussion.
- Christian Kirk's status is also uncertain.
Rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins may see increased playing time if Collins and Kirk are out.
The Texans may rely more on the ground game in their absence.
